Finally meeting up with family...God is good. We had no cell service and only mentioned where we might camp in the park...God graciously enabled us to connect by them driving by our campsite around 5:30p...just before they were thinking of giving up looking.

Brothers indeed

Scaling the rocks together

Helicopters tracking and counting black bear in the region, asked to use our property as a refueling station and lunch break...Quite the excitement...especially for my dad who was on the other side of the property when he saw the choppers landing, which historically has only been when life flight is needed in the valley, so you can imagine the adrenaline and fearsome thoughts rising up that one of the 17 grandchildren was in need of life saving measures, but his fears subsided when he saw the white vehicle was a gas truck and not an ambulance.
